made in the PATIENTS leg, one inch
above the spot bitten, and the stone
was inserted. AS the stone adhered
scream Of unutterab!e anguish escaped
the lips of the sufferer, as If life itself
WAS being drawn out. In less than
one minute the stone had changed its
color from dark to Il poisonous looking
green. II was pulled out and soaked
in warm water, and applied again and
again, its adhesive power becoming
less and less until at last it refused TO
stick. BY this time the patient fell off
into heavy sleep, only TO awake TO q
consciousness of restored health. He
lived for thirty years after the event.
1t was thus that the stone, which was
only KEEP. as a jest, became an object
that money could not buy. From all
parts of the coast there were calls for
the wonderful stone. The family sab
seauentiy removed to Columbia county,
in this State, where for 1C0 years shis
stone has been an object of curiosity to
physicians and people in general.
The recent history Of this remarkable
stone is quite as strange as that OF its
earlier years, curing the bites of mad
dogs and cats, The stiugs of scorpions
and snakes, and the incubation Of
poisonous substances. In 1872 Abe
Lockhart, Il co!Ored man in Columbia
county, was bitten by Il pilot snake.
The stone was applied to the bite. The
wonderful part of the story is that the
man, who had inherited scrofula, was
cured of that disease, and has had
since no return of the maIady. Seven
40 i'm
miles away, was bitten by arattlesnake.
When found he WAS unconscious. He
was put into wagon and driven the
nine miles 10 the home Of Mrs. Glib
son. BY that time the victims leg had
swollen to three times ita usual size.
AS soon as the stone was applied it
affected the sufferer precisely us it had
its first subject, over % century bsfure
A case which attracted widespread
attention was that Of Miss Williams,
WHO lived near the plantation of Gen.
Robert Toombs, 10 Wilkes county. In
1883 Miss Williams was inOculated
from virus obtained from q mad COW.
When the fact was discovered it sent
u shock through the com immunity. The
iady's friends at once resolved TO use
Mrs. Glbson's maidstone, which was
entirely successful in warding off tire
anticipated danger. a strange case
was that Of the TWO grandchildren of
Mrs. McG'niy, Of Norwood, VINO had
been bitten and scratched fsarfnlly by
IA mai cat. The stone WAS applied to
the two alternately, The children

A WONDERFUL MAIDSTONE.
For More Than 100 Years it Has Cured
the Bites OF Snakes aud Mad Dogs.

The recent death of Il man in Bauks
county who had been bitten by Il mad
dog has revived interest in nndstones,
of which there are several in various
parts Of the Slate. There is one in
Fairburn which is said TO have been
successfully applied to about 100 per-
sons, But by all odds tho most notable
stone In the South is that owned by
Mrs. l.. w. Gibson, in Columbia
county. 1t derives interest not alone
from the wonderful cures which ii has
effected, but from its antiquity and the
manner in which it came INFO possess
sion of the family.
In 1743 vessel from tho East Indies
touched the coast OF North Carolina,
where the great-graDdtather of Mrs.
Gibson's husband lived at the time.
A passenger who was sick was put off,
and Mr.. Gibson took him to his home,
where the stranger was welcomed aud
nurshed back to health. When about
to take his departure he took from his
pocket two stones, one of which he
presented to Mr.. Gibson, telling him
that ii was of great age, as he bad been
assured by the gentleman from whom
he procured ii in Bombay that it pos
sessed remarkable powers in ali casrs
Of blood poisoning, whether it resulted
from corrosion of foreign substances,
from the bites of animals or insects of
any description, or from incubation.
Even in cases o! small pox, said The
stranger, the stone had been known to
extract the poison from the system,
leaving the patient thoroughly restored
to health. The stone was OF "a grayish
black color, and perfectly smooth. II
was one inch 10 length, three-quarters
of aud inch in width, and half an inch
thick.
The stranger disappeared, and the
stone was laid by as u curiosity. No
faith was placed in its medicinal quail
ties. II was not long, however, before
an event happened which brought the
stone into high repute. A member of
Mr.. Gibson's family was bitten by IA
rattiesnake. All known remedies
failed. The patient had passed into
paroxysms, and all hope had fed. 1t
was then that one of the children
thought of the mysterious stone. AS
no harm could be done, it was deter
mined to use it. An incision was

used to be the fashion to wear the

From that fashion decreed little adj
